Avid gamers now have the chance to get their hands on the highly-anticipated Xbox One X hours before anyone else, thanks to an innovative new trial involving Argos’s market-leading Fast Track delivery service.

Customers who take part in the pre-order trial will receive the Xbox One X at exactly one-minute past midnight on the day of the console’s launch on Tuesday 7 November. What’s more, the gaming device will be delivered directly to their doors by Argos’s Fast Track team, allowing customers to be amongst the first in the UK to enjoy the console.

The trial will be offered to customers living in London Zones 1-5. To apply for limited pre-order slots available, customers need to visit @Argos_Online on Twitter after 8am on Wednesday 25 October where details on how to get involved will be announced.
